Bradford City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

We need to do them in the last ten or fifteen minutes, when they're tiring and hanging on for a result to take into the second leg.

If it's close I'd throw on a couple of attacking players like Lambert did at Swindon.

I think a draw will be no good to them , they will need to win at the parade and we can pick them off , an early villa goal and it would really deflate the bantams.

Not going to predict the team but I do think Given, N'Zogbia and Bent should probably start. Zog should only be given a half though as we need him for Saturday.

The deflation of the bantams will certainly be key.

4-0 to us, Gabby x2, Benteke and Bent.

I'd keep Bent on the bench to come on as a sub.

How do these bantams keep getting inflated in the first place? People need to leave the bantams alone.

Especially as it isn't even Bantam season yet.
3-1 Villa

[The Left Side]

Head says draw, heart says 3-1 win!

I think we just need to ride the storm that i am sure they will create, for the first 30 mins. Get over that and I reckon we can win the away leg and finish the job at home quite safely.

[PaulWinch again]

It'd be nice if we could give them a good battering, then get a couple of players into the squad before we play Saints.

How much of a storm can a middling 4th division outfit create?

Quite a bit against Arsenal

From the highlights they spent most of the game hanging onto a one goal lead and then 30 minutes to a draw.

[Des Little]

I'm fully expecting a win. Anything less and questions should be asked.

[SashasGrandad]

I'd like draw or narrow win in first leg followed by another tennis score on second leg.

6-3, 6-2 etc.

[l_mckay]

2-2 draw. Benteke and weinmann scoring
